I am a female with long, super thick hair... will this brush be better for me than a soft bristled one?

This brush works okay for my long, fine hair, but someone with thicker hair should definitely buy a stiffer brush.

I don't think this brush will work well for long thick hair. Its bristles aren't stiff enough in my opinion.

Yes, a softer brush tends to "polish" the hair surface while longer and harder bristles stimulate the hair.

Yes. But one with some nylon bristles wil be even better. This brush is designed for men. There are good ones for women with long hai that have rubber bases that won't pull yr hair out. But agair boar bristle with some nylon brislte is probably what you want. Best of two worlds. Unless you have short hair. I love this brush.

Based on my experience, if you have really fine hair (like me) it might work for that purpose. But with coarse hair or thick hair, the soft bristles may not reach your scalp. I hope this helps.

I have super fine, super thick above the chin length hair. I kept getting my hair caught in the crevices of the tool and pulling it out. You have to use small sections, but it does curl tough I would try KISS Instawave Automatic Curler at Ulta if I had longer hair. The Hot Tools one did work, but due to my thick hair, I found hot rollers took less time.

Sounds like my hair. This brush will untangle you and smooth your hair nicely. If I get super crazy snarls in my hair - a windy day at the beach or something like that - sometimes I will use a different brush with sturdy teeth to comb those out and then go over my hair with this brush to get everything smoothed again.

No, this is definitely a bath brush...bristles are too close together for hair...

Yes, this brush is wonderful for all hair types. I have thick medium length hair. One of my daughters has long coarse thick hair and my other daughter has long fine hair. We all have one and I would never use another brush! They are expensive but definitely worth the money!

Yes! My hair is super long and wavy too. I straighten it as best I can. This brush is the right one for you.

Hi Elizabeth,I think the bristles are too soft. There are two types of bristles on the brush- thin short ones which are fairly soft, and a bit longer ones slightly harder. They sit next to each other but even so, in combination, did not grab my hair and hold it in place. For this reason I returned the brush. My hair is short, thick and curly and I try to straighten every time I blow dry. I have yet to find a good hot air brush that would do the job.

I think your hair is possibly too long. I have used this type of brush for more than 60 years. They used to be made of a hard type rubber. It stimulates the scalp and hair, I believe. My hair is still dark and full and I'm in my 70's and not bald either. if you like I would try one...should you like it, buy more. I purchased 3 of them. I had lost two others during my travels. Good Luck!!

It works very well on my hair, which is quite long. I've never used another brush that worked this well.

I got the brush for my daughter a couple of years ago and she still loves it. I have found that it brings out the natural oils in her hair so it might work will for you. Let me know if that helps!

No...this is a nylon bristle brush. They are mostly used by those with ethnic hair. Too bad the store doesn't sell them anymore. Go figure

Personally I like the Handy size the best. The small one (or the size down) is just to small to do a decent brushing job, and i have used the larger (the size up)(my sister had one so it was in our house, but even she didn't like it) and i find it really clumzy. Just to big to do a nice job. I don't know if this helps much, but i can tell you that i honestly get grouchy when i loose or break mine and don't have it to brush my hair with. MY hair is waist lengh, but it isn't the length that matters to me, it is the way this brush massages your scalp that is so important to me.

That may be an issue for real thick hair. The bristles are about 3/4 of an inch.WE do offer another brush by Olivia Garden called the finger brush and it's excellent for thick hair.

I have shorter curly hair. The brush is hard bristle and does smooth (get frizz out) of my shorter hair. I don't really know how it affects longer hair sorry.
